Dr. J. C. Warren.

3047. A portion of the ulnar nerve, from just above the elbow, and attached to it a small cancerous growth.

The patient was a man, forty-seven years of age, who had had a tumor there for twenty-four years ; and, two years before his entrance into the hospital (77, 189), a mass, weighing 2 Ibs., had been removed. The disease having returned, Dr. B. amputated the arm at the shoulder- joint. The ulnar nerve entered the upper part of a large cancerous tumor, and just before it was lost in it bulged out to the size of a sparrow's egg.

The fingers, coming out from the mass, are considerably spread by the growth of the dis- ease, but are healthy so far as seen.

Dr. G. Hayward.

3051. . Section of the above tumor, showing an

opaque, white, anfractuous, malignant-looking structure ; with no appearance of natural tissues, excepting the ten- dons at the wrist-joint. Dr. G. Hayward.

3052. Section of a portion of a melanotic tumor, that was removed by Dr. G. H. Dadd, veterinary surgeon, from a gray stallion, nine years old. The disease was of eighteen
